Bianca Karina
A social media and content strategist by day and blogger by night, Bianca started fashion blogging after graduating college, and now has expanded her content to include her love of food and travel. Bianca’s blog was born from chronicling her experiences as a petite, plus-size woman. Much of her content focuses around body image and body confidence, and she says that blogging has positively shaped her self-image. She stresses that body love is a journey: you won’t feel confident every day, but it’s important to treat yourself kindly. If you wouldn’t say it to your best friend, she says, don’t say it to your reflection. Bianca has been everywhere from Prague to New Orleans, but her favorite trip was to Japan, where she checked an item off her bucket list by participating Japanese Onsen, or nude hot spring. Though at first she was nervous about not meeting beauty standards of thinness, she overcame her fear of judgement and ended up loving the experience. There are many more places Bianca hopes to travel, from the garlic festival in Gilroy, CA to a bungalow in the Maldives, and plenty of things to look forward to in the coming months. Topping the list is getting married to her high school sweetheart and partner of eight years. She’s also continuing to grow her YouTube presence, where she plans to share her adventures and show that people of all body types live fulfilling lives. It all comes back to the goal of her blog: to show the possibility of a lifestyle not limited by size.
